Annotation
The article “Schopenhauer’s ideas in aesthetical searching of the Russian
symbolists” analyzes the impact of Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophical
ideas such as irrationalism and intuitivism made on the formation of the aesthetical concepts of the Russian symbolists. It has been emphasized that the
symbolists, with the exception of Fyodor Sologub, treated A. Schopenhauer
not just as “a philosopher of life” but rather turned to his gnoseology, the context of which served as a foundation for their understanding of the nature of
creation and the role of an individual in the creative process. It has been established that the reception of A. Schopenhauer’s philosophy was distinguished
by its creative nature. On the basis of A. Schopenhauer’s philosophical ideas,
the Russian symbolists created their own aesthetical concepts. They regarded
art as a means of transforming the world.
The consciousness of the Russian symbolists merged A. Schopenhauer’s
ideas with the Russian religious idea, with Vladimir Solovyov’s philosophy
in the first place
